Jeremiah 17:9-10 “The heart is deceitful above all things And it is extremely sick; Who can understand it fully and know its secret motives? “I, the Lord, search and examine the mind, I test the heart, To give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.
Never trust your own heart as the bible says is the most deceitful above all things and extremely sick. God will test our hearts to show the bad fruit it produces so that we may repent and fully depend on Him.
When our harvest or fruit is continuously bad and falls short, HE is trying to tell us that we have been relying on our own hearts rather than obeying Him. It is the result of our own deeds thinking we are following Him.
When we come to realize our hearts are really wicked, we need to put down all our own thoughts and ways for they are destructive. We need start and submit to His authority and covering. God sent His people to exile here in the book if Jeremiah because they needed to learn obedience. They thought God was with them but in reality, they were fighting against Him. Many Christians do not realize they continue to wrestle with God thinking they are seeking Him.
